They also had a PPV from Miami in '94, and there was an HBO live broadcast from MSG in 2002. Either of them probably dwarfed Hampton in viewership, not in quality of performance.

I believe he was officially upgraded to 'The Great Urban Steel' so please be respectful of that...

Longest thread title ever?...

Miss you steel.

"FU-K Los Angeles!"

There will never be another Hampton...it was the year after Lennon was killed, a big tour for the Stones, pay-per-view was a new thing for concerts (it was shown on "ON-TV" here in Los Angeles...I know, "F*ck Los Angeles!" ). Didn't know anyone who had pay-TV, but I listened to the simulcast on the mighty KMET and still have the cassettes of the recording. Played the hell out of them for the next year or so.

Didn't actually see the Hampton concert until about 10 years later when I bought a copy on VHS at the Pasadena record swap meet. Subsequent pay-per-views (Atlantic City '89, Miami '94, St. Louis '97) were all good, but never quite the same as Hampton Roads.

'81 was a different era...no Internet, no YouTube, no downloading of shows, no finding out setlists beforehand (let alone hearing about them in real time!) Just a totally different time, which made it special then and now.

God I sound like an old dude...what the hell happened to me?!

I want an official DVD release of Hampton.

From the footage the have released officially the 4Reel 5.1 Version would be hard to beat
